Identifying the Severity of Dementia Based on Cognitive Performance and Index of Independence in Basic Activities of Daily Living
Our results suggest a progressive decline in both cognitive and functional abilities as patients move through the stages of ADRD. Among ADRD patients, performance in a cognitive assessment (BC-Assess) or in basic activities of daily living (ADL) is informative of severity diagnosis. However, combining both measures generates highest accuracy.
